SHIBBOLETH: Thoughts on life and faith

Book Review: ‘The Reason for God’ by Tim Keller

So as I am now a professional bookseller by trade I thought it would be good to post a few reviews of some top-rate books and I’ll begin with ‘The Reason for God’ by Tim Keller. For this first review, after rejoining the workforce, I’ll let my new companies website do the talking. Above is a video by the author and here is the short review from the 10ofthose website:

The ‘Reason for God’ is an intelligent, intellectually rigorous examination by Timothy Keller of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of scepticism. As the pastor of an inner–city church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced ‘doubts’ sceptics bring to his church, as well as the most important reasons for faith.

In ‘The Reason for God’, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. Timothy Keller uses literature, philosophy, real–life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

Please do pop into the 10ofthose website and if you’re from the UK why not purchase the book there too!

I’m currently reading:

"[Christian rebellion] arises from the doctrine of mankind made in the image of God, and therefore protests against all forms of dehumanization. It sets itself against the social injustices which insult God the Creator, seeks to protect human beings from oppression and longs to liberate them… it protests against every authoritarian regime, whether of the left or of the right, which discriminates against minorities, denies people their civil rights, forbids the free expression of opinions or imprisons people for their views alone."— John Stott
